Scorched the surface (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seared

'scorched the surface' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for seared that I've seen before include "dried up" , "burned" , "Scorched on the surface (6).[BO]" , "Scorched, singed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
